§ Mr. JOWETTasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware of the inconvenience which passengers between Bradford and Dewsbury are now suffering owing to the withdrawal of some of their most important train journeys between the two towns mentioned by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company; if he is also aware that the Lancashire and Yorkshire passengers who hold passes and use workmen's and weekly tickets have (in consequence of the changes referred to) frequently to pay full fare to the Great Northern Railway Company in order to travel by their trains and thus avoid unreasonable delay; and if, in these circumstances, he will arrange with the two companies concerned to make the tickets issued to passengers between Bradford and Dewsbury available by either route?
Mr. HARCOURTI have asked the railway companies concerned for their observations on this matter, and I will communicate with my hon. Friend upon receipt of their replies.
